Prishtina [Pristina], 11 September: Kosova [Kosovo] Prime Minister Agim Ceku said today during his regular radio addressing to citizens that we stay beside the Americans and that on this date all Kosovars feel like Americans.

"Five years ago we have nightmarishly observed one of the most shocking episodes of human tragedy, where 2973 persons died in a single day," said Prime Minister in his speech.

He also said that USA self-restraint and decisive reaction following the attack was a demonstration of grandiosity of US nation and government.

At the 5th anniversary of terrorist attacks on the United States, Kosova Assembly Chairman Kole Berisha said that the Kosovar nation and institutions express once again their solidarity with the United States and its readiness to help in preventing terrorist acts in the world.
